Thanks Michelle - I got that one to work.

I haven't been getting any codes because my phone battery died, and I keep forgetting to charge it up. No-one ever rings me on it anyway, I don't know why I have one?

I copped out and bought a box of wrapped choccies for the teachers. There are 10 members of staff work in the unit in my sons nursery, and you just can't get something for all of them. I thought that way, they might all get a couple.

Managed 2 on viva which took me to redeem.

Tonight I plan on doing a bit more rating, and I need to write a long email to my sister in law as i just found out she is being made redundant, and wants to know my tips on earning money and eeking it out better. She is on mat leave anyway at the minute, but it sounds hard.

I also plan on unwinding with a glass of wine. DH is not in from work yet.

I've been screened out of every survey so far, but have been good and written another review. Might even do nother one later

I hope everyone is OK, and I wish you all a lovely relaxing weekend. I hope the sun keeps shining.

Good morning all, hope everyone is ok.

Sounds like the teachers amongst us were spoilt, and definately well deserved such a worthwhile job that makes such a big difference, hope you enjoyed your Lush bath Nicky, Mum2one, what a lovely thing for your reading class to do, very thoughtful

Love the new bag Rufus, it is lovely I bet it will be snapped up quickly.

Well done on your redeem on ips bunbun, and thank you for your well wishes.

Welcome back foxy and samba.

Well done on the reviews michelle, elysia, they realy are staring to add up now aren't they?

Had an awful day yesterday, phoned up about my mobile being disconnected, in a nutshell they have recycled my number now so no chance of getting it back, need to sort out which companies need it and inform family etc. Later almost had a car crash as the car in front slammed on the breaks to make a last minute turn, that shook me up a bit as dd was with me. In the evening my netbook fell off the bed and is unusable There is a chance we may be able to recover my files but with my luck currently I wont be holding my breath. Luckily I had backed up my tma an hour before but not my christmas lists, money making lists and other important documents.

On a positive note, I quaified for 4 surveys on viva yesterday adding £3.85, just three more surveys until payout. Trying to keep poitive and see the funny side of things but admittedly I am finding it increasingly hard as more things go wrong.

Sorry to vent, I feel a bit better getting it all out and more determined to not let all this beat me. Hopefully today will be a good one for money making.

Oh dear Savvy you are not having the best time of it are you hun?! Hope you have a better weekend!

Well I helped my best mate paint her house till gone 11pm last night and am shattered today! Yawn! Off to catch up on surveys I missed yesterday! Also started wrapping Christmas presents Wednesday night! My friends think I am made but if we have snow all through December again this year I will be laughing my head off!

Morning everyone,

Sorry I haven't managed to catch up hope your all ok. It is a bit hectic here getting ready to go away so won't be around for a while.

Managed to redeem on viva this morning.

As I won't be around at the end of the month my totals are as followed (rubbish):
s&s £10 amazon
eBay £18.53
chow £17.15
iPsOs £10 amazon

so a grand total of £ 55.68

I am on 3/20 reviews. Hope to get one more down by the end of the day. I am aiming for the cheque. I'm currently on 27000 so hope to get there by the end of next month.

Hey,

Sorry to hear your having a hard time savvy. Deifnately try and look on the positive side when you can. Sometimes life likes to test us, so you just show life what ur made of!!!!! Hope your luck improves soon.

Managed to redeem on Vo last night yay! And did 2.85p on Viva last night toom was really pleased with that! Did have an email about 2 hours ago saying there were surveys available but just checked and nothing for me. Only 4 surveys off redeem on there.

Off to a wedding today I best get cracking with some chores before its time to get ready! Weather is looking a little nicer here, hope it is where everyone else is!

Only got up at 12 today. My body is protesting at all the late nights. We are going to take the kids for a walk and have some time away from the computer this afternoon as I think we need it.

Failed my driving test yesterday 3 major faults! I got home and rebooked it straight away but the earliest slot I could get wasn't until 24th Oct! Ridiculous I'm gonna keep checking for cancellations every day though, can't believe I have to wait so long!

I've been frantically rating on DY hoping some nice people will return the favour, going well so far. I'm currently writing another review so should get that one done tonight. Surveys have been really sllloooooowwww. Managed £1 on viva today and thats it

Savvy - I can't believe the luck you're having lately.:( I really hope this run changes for the better. It's got to soon.

I must admit to dropping my netbook yesterday too, but thankfully it's ok. I must start saving up for a new one though. The poor thing doesn't half get used a lot, and I've had my money's worth.

Michelle - lucky you getting a lie in. DD was up and awake before 6.30 why is that? She always gets up early on the weekend!!!
I hope you have a lovely afternoon, and sorry about the rates. I can't think what happened then.

Cornish - I've rated everyone you've done. It's hard to keep up with everyone now the email alert is down, but I do keep checking.

Legend - You're my hero. Wrapping in July. Woohoo. I tend to leave it nearer the time, and then panic, as theres still so much to do, and I'm still wrapping on Christmas Eve. I aim to do some every week, and put them under the bed (we have one of those ones where the mattress lifts up, so it's handy for hiding).

Claire - have a wonderful holiday, and make sure to take some time to have a rest. You've earned the break.

That reminds me - I'm off on Monday, and as my dongle broke, I was going to have some time off, but I asked my dad for his, so I can just do a few surveys here and there. I doubt I'll be doing any reviews.

Giggles well done on the redeem. I hope the wedding goes well, and the weather stays dry. Have fun x

Thank goodness I blitzed the kitchen for a couple of hours this morning (it really needed it). I've had visitors on and off since, and now the kids have banished me from there, and they're cooking. It'll be a right mess later, and I'll have to clean it all again. Argghhhhh.
